Starting January 2026, MagentaTV will broadcast PGA, DP World, and Champions Tour events. Majors remain with Sky.
Golf fans in Germany will have a new home for live coverage starting in 2026. Telekom has secured broadcasting rights for the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and Champions Tour through its platform MagentaTV. The deal runs through 2029 and includes 131 tournaments in the first year alone. Additionally, MagentaTV will air the Ryder Cup in 2027 and 2029. However, Sky will retain the rights to all men’s and women’s Major Championships.
300 Days of Live Golf on MagentaTV
The new rights package includes approximately 300 days of live golf annually across two new dedicated channels: MS Golf 1 and MS Golf 2. Launching in January 2026, MS Golf 1 will broadcast all tournaments in full, while MS Golf 2 will feature player profiles, current stories, and historical content. On-demand content will also be available. Coverage begins January 15 with the Sony Open in Hawaii and the Dubai Invitational. The golf programming will be available at no extra cost to all MagentaTV and MagentaSport subscribers.
“Golf has found a new home on MagentaTV. With this package, we offer Germany’s most comprehensive live golf coverage ever. From the first tee shots to the final putts, we’ll present every tournament like never before—live, informative, and in a modern format,” said Arnim Butzen, Telekom’s Head of TV.
Sky Retains Major Championships
Despite losing a significant portion of golf coverage, Sky will continue to broadcast all Major Championships in the coming years. This includes the most prestigious events in men’s and women’s golf, such as the Solheim Cup and all five women’s Majors. As a result, fans who want to follow both weekly tour events and the Majors will need subscriptions to both MagentaTV and Sky.
